Thirty

Thirty is a friend of a friend, and he comes into the salon regularly for haircuts.  Other than his visits there, I only see him every few months at social gatherings; however, when we see each other we casually banter back and forth about nothing of major importance.  I'm not sure how old Thirty is, but he gets bonus points for definitely being older than 23.  I can tell you that he's about 30% sparkly eyes and dimples, 40% charming, 15% player, and 15% arrogant.  For the time being, I have decided the twinkle in his eyes totally outweighs the player and arrogance portions.

He recently came to the salon for an event we had, and during our conversation we discovered that he lives a couple of blocks from where I dogsit.  This information obviously led me into telling him that we should do something, and I suggested an ice cream place in the neighborhood.  He exclaimed (seriously, he was enthusiastic about it), "Yes, I love that place! Let's exchange digits!"  Numbers were successfully traded, and now I will be patient before I text him (because, let's be honest, I'm always the first one to text)...luckily my work schedule has exploded, so I have less free time to be tempted to text (maybe I'll even seem mysterious, ha!).
